This course consists of four live webcast sessions directed by Dr. Dirk van Zyl, UBC Professor of Mine Life Cycle Systems.
At the end of the course, participants will have a good understanding of the underpinnings of sustainable development and how this concept is viewed in mining operations; they will have a good grounding in the applications of this concept to mining and the contributions that mining makes to sustainable development; and they will understand how to apply the concept at the project, mine and corporate levels.
This course is part of a graduate studies program presented by the Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering at the University of British Columbia and the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. For more information see the course description.
